Dramatiser

/ˈdræm.ə.taɪ.zər/ noun

Definition

A person who dramatises or adapts stories and works into dramatic or theatrical form; a playwright or adapter.

Etymology

From dramatise plus -er (suffix meaning 'one who does'), following the standard English agent noun pattern.

Kelly Says

The existence of both 'dramatiser' and 'playwright' shows how English sometimes has two words for the same job—but 'dramatiser' emphasizes adaptation while 'playwright' sounds more artistic!
